Absinthe Bourgeois

Absinthe Bourgeois

Absinthe Bourgeois is produced at the Emile Pernot distillery in Pontarlier. The original Bourgeois distillery was founded by Joseph and Fortunat Bougeois in 1890 and it was located very close to the Cousin Florentin distillery (now Francois Guy) and were running just 2 alembics. If not for the immensely popular public appeal of the famous advertising 'absinthe drinking cat' poster, the Bourgeois brand would be long forgotten.
